Zheng Fa followed Senior Sister Yuan to tour Marketplace, mainly because he wanted to familiarize himself with the responsibilities of Marketplace's manager.
Senior Sister Yuan introduced as he walked:
"The Marketplace we are talking about is actually divided into three parts to be precise - the square where the big stores are located, the Marketplace where the small stores are located, and the market composed of those small stalls."
"Our most important task is to maintain order in these three places. The first is to be careful not to bully the market. The second is to prevent some rogues or high-level monks from bullying those stores."
Senior Sister Yuan really knows these things well.
"In fact, you don't need to control those big stores. They are all opened by the Hundred Immortals Alliance's big sect. Almost no one dares to cause trouble." Senior Sister Yuan said, "Well, no matter how expensive the things they sell are, we can't control them."
Zheng Fa Silence.
These big shops not only have backgrounds, but also rare spiritual materials.
For the Nine Mountains Sect, they also contribute the most rent.
The God of Wealth with big fists is something that no one can afford or want to offend.
"But this Marketplace and the market, we need some snacks."
"The shops in Marketplace are generally very honest. Most of them are opened by some immortals, and only they have the capital. These people may not be kind, but they must be afraid that Senior Sister Zhang will cause trouble."
"But it's hard to say about those stalls. There's a mix of good and bad people, and it's also the most difficult to manage, with the most disputes."
"Most of my disciples will patrol this market." Senior Sister Yuan said, "By the way, when will you meet them?"
Zheng Fa thought for a moment and said, "Let's live longer."
It was appropriate to meet these disciples who were on duty in Marketplace, but he could also foresee that this matter was not that simple.
Not only is his cultivation low, but he also has little qualifications, having only been in the sect for two months.
Even with Senior Sister Zhang's support, it will not be easy to take charge of such a big Marketplace.
If you don't talk about others, just say Senior Sister Zhang.
Isn't her talent good?
That is Hundred Immortals Alliance, the fastest Foundation Establishment, and Talisman Dao, which is recognized as the first before Zheng Fa.
Isn't her background strong?
My master is Nascent Soul True Person.
But from Senior Sister Zhang's narration, Zheng Fa can also understand that she has experienced a lot of disputes and doubts along the way.
Background and talent cannot solve everything at the Immortal Sect.
"Okay! It will be set in half a month!" Senior Sister Yuan seemed to see something and patted his arm. "It's okay, senior sister, I will help you!"
Zheng Fa thanks Senior Sister Yuan.
After Senior Sister Yuan introduced Zheng Fa, he took his arm and ran around in the market full of stalls.
"Come on, come on!"
"Sister?"
"Even though there are so many stores, there are only a few that really have good stuff!"
Zheng Fa couldn't help but feel a little expectant. He had almost never spent money here at the Nine Mountains Sect for so long - he was just afraid of missing out and stepping into a trap.
Senior Sister Yuan seems to be familiar with it at first glance. Maybe he can introduce some reliable shops to himself, so that it will be convenient for him to buy Law Treasure spiritual materials and the like in the future.
"The meatloaf here is an ancestral craft!" Senior Sister Yuan pointed to a stall and said, "The seasoning is secretly made, and the meat is rich and oily!"
"... This is the good thing you said, senior sister?"
"Of course, you walk a hundred steps forward, then turn right and the third stall is a delicious pastry stall... Let me tell you secretly, Senior Sister Zhang loves their sweet-scented osmanthus cake the most!"
"..."
"By the way, there is a stall selling meat skewers at the entrance of the market. It has been in business for more than ten years and has a good reputation!" Senior Sister Yuan said, looking at Zheng Fa proudly. "I have told you all the treasured shops I have discovered over the years!"
"... Thank you, senior sister." Zheng Fa thanked her with difficulty.
"It's okay, I promised Senior Sister Zhang to teach you well!" Senior Sister Yuan patted his chest, then quietly approached Zheng Fa's ear, and whispered, "Marketplace has a grain store, and the Spirit Grain inside is particularly delicious! No one else knows about this, only I buy it!"
She had a look of sincerity on her face that I would not tell others.
"Senior sister... is it possible that others don't buy it because their tastes are different from yours?"
Thinking of Senior Sister Yuan's true form, Zheng Fa was silent for a while and then asked.
Thirteen days later.
Zheng Fa's courtyard.
He was sitting cross-legged on the futon, holding a blue jade vase in his right hand.
He pointed the mouth of the bottle at the palm of his left hand, and a Origin-Consolidating Pill rolled into his hand.
He spent all his money to buy this today - including the wages given by Senior Sister Yuan, as well as the income from selling magic talismans these days.
If he hadn't advanced to Qi Refinement Second Layer and could draw two more talismans every day, he might not have been able to save twenty Spirit Stone.
This is why he asked Senior Sister Yuan to wait a few more days before introducing him to Marketplace disciples - he wanted to condense the second Origin Talisman first.
The first Origin Talisman he chose was Upright Shadowless Talisman, mainly to ensure his own safety in modern times.
But Upright Shadowless Talisman is of less use than Xuanwei Realm.
This time, Zheng Fa's goal is very clear - to find a powerful one with a cool effect.
Senior Sister Zhang said he is Profound-grade Talisman Master, which is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment Realm, but in Zheng Fa's opinion it is not the case.
The main thing is that anyone can buy Talisman. Can it be said that it is Foundation Establishment Realm by holding the Profound-grade symbol?
I'm afraid these Marketplace disciples don't quite recognize them - everyone envies the krypton gold warriors, but on the other hand it's inevitable that some people will look down upon them.
But <Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method> is different, he can make Zheng Fa turn Talisman into Law Technique.
Being able to cast Foundation Establishment Realm Law Technique instantly, there is nothing wrong with saying that you are half Foundation Establishment Realm.
Upright Shadowless Talisman According to the classification of Senior Sister Zhang, it belongs to the feminine and earth genus.
The native is gold, so the Talisman Diagram you want to choose for Zheng Fa must be negative, metal.
There aren't really many options to choose from.
Senior Sister Zhang also tested a small part of Talisman Diagram, and Zheng Fa can only condense Origin Talisman - according to Senior Sister Zhang, Talisman Diagram is too complicated, and one Origin-Consolidating Pill is not enough.
Among these available Origin Talisman, the best choice he could find was Frost Blade Talisman.
This Talisman is not only powerful but also very lethal.
It can also freeze the enemy's body, making the opponent's movements slow down.
It is also very popular among Talisman Master.
Zheng Fa raised his head and swallowed Origin-Consolidating Pill into his throat. The spiritual power in his body that he mobilized with ease condensed into the Origin Talisman pattern of Frost Blade Talisman in Dantian.
With his Divine Soul strength, and this is not the first time he has condensed Origin Talisman, this matter is not difficult for him.
But when he was condensing Frost Blade Talisman, he also found that the potency of Origin-Consolidating Pill seemed to be one or two points weaker than the last time.
This is probably the drug resistance mentioned by Senior Sister Zhang in <Talisman Dao Foundation Establishment Method>.
After Frost Blade Talisman was condensed, it fell directly next to Upright Shadowless Talisman. The two seemed to be a natural pair, and they put together to form a somewhat complicated pattern.
Zheng Fa tried it, and after condensing Frost Blade Talisman, the absorption speed of Spiritual Qi became faster during practice.
Marketplace.
Six disciples in Tsing Yi patrolled the aisle set aside by the stall.
The other five people gathered around a senior brother who looked a bit older, and seemed to be led by this person.
The vendors on both sides looked at these people with awe, and even their hawking voices were lowered when they passed by.
This shows how these people usually behave in the market.
But this time these people had no intention of showing off. As they walked, they quietly moved their lips and talked to each other quietly.
"Have you heard? That Zheng Fa."
"The news has spread a long time ago. We Marketplace must be left in his charge."
"Qi Refinement Second Layer, I have only been here for two months, Senior Sister Zhang really dotes on him..."
What the three people were talking about was that Zheng Fa was going to take over Marketplace.
Senior Sister Zhang didn't want to hide this from anyone. Not to mention these well-informed Marketplace disciples, there were even people in Marketplace's store who heard about it.
"... If you ask me, he is Talisman Dao very talented, but his promotion is a bit too much." A short and stocky disciple muttered.
"This was appointed by Senior Sister Zhang."
"Are all Senior Sister Zhang right?" The disciple said angrily, "If you don't say anything else, who can Qi Ingestion if you are Qi Refinement Second Layer?"
"Marketplace Someone is causing trouble, can he calm down the situation?"
"He is a Talisman Dao genius and can draw talisman well, but Marketplace can't be managed by just drawing a few Talisman. He has just started working for two months and he hasn't even figured out Nine Mountains Sect. How can he manage Marketplace well?"
"..." Several other people looked at each other and felt that what this person said made sense.
"According to what you say, who is best in charge? Do you want to be in charge?"
The stocky disciple glanced at the senior brother among them who had been silent and said, "It would be fine if Senior Sister Yuan is always in charge. If it's not Senior Sister Yuan, I think Senior Brother Yang is the best."
Several other people were stunned and looked at Senior Brother Yang.
"Senior Brother Yang is Foundation Establishment Late Stage. Not to mention his cultivation level, he has decades of connections with the Nine Mountains Sect and has worked at Marketplace for many years. Is it much worse than that Zheng Fa?"
Several other people were also moved.
On the one hand, of course they felt that what this person said made sense.
But on the other hand, they have a good relationship with Senior Brother Yang. Senior Brother Yang has a future, so of course they can also benefit from it.
On the contrary, Senior Brother Yang waved his hand. "I, No-Mind, have the power. And since Senior Sister Zhang has spoken, we can only obey orders."
"Senior Brother Yang, Marketplace Steward passes through more Spirit Stone every month than we have ever seen in our lives." the short and stocky disciple encouraged.
Senior Brother Yang was silent for a while, looked at him and said, "What you said makes sense. Let's do this. When you see Zheng Fa in two days, just tell him - don't mention my name. I support you being the manager of this Marketplace!"
"... How dare I oppose Senior Sister Zhang?"
"I dare?" Senior Brother Yang sneered.
Several other people didn't know what to say.
Among the disciples of Marketplace, there are quite a few who have opinions on Zheng Fa's leadership of Marketplace. In other words, they are the vast majority.
The reasons for this are complex.
As an old disciple, I am certainly unhappy to be pressured over by a new disciple named Qi Refinement Second Layer.
On the other hand, it is also a distrust of Zheng Fa's ability.
But it's actually more about interests, and they all want to replace it - this position represents too much Spirit Stone.
It's just that no one dares to openly oppose Senior Sister Zhang, they all hope that someone will come forward.
"Anyway, I don't Qi Ingestion, and Zheng Fa is too young." The short and stocky disciple gritted his teeth and said.
Others were also silent. Zheng Fa's youth meant a fact that was very unfavorable to them - he could sit in Marketplace's managerial position for a long time, leaving no one else with a chance. Of course they would not dare to have an opinion if it was Golden Core like Senior Sister Yuan, but Zheng Fa's cultivation level was low.
"It's better to go find Senior Sister Yuan and let Senior Sister Yuan come forward!" Seeing everyone's silence, the short and sturdy disciple gritted his teeth and said.
"Huh?" Senior Brother Yang raised his head and looked at this person.
"Senior Sister Yuan cares most about Marketplace's position in charge." The disciple analyzed. "Now that Senior Sister Zhang wants Junior Brother Zheng to take charge of Marketplace, isn't it Senior Sister Yuan who is most angry?"
"How come I heard that Senior Sister Yuan and Zheng Fa have a good relationship?"
"Do you believe it?" the short and stocky disciple retorted, "With such a huge amount of money, a husband and wife can turn against each other!"
"What's more, if you really want to have a good relationship, why not just give up your position to Zheng Fa?" The more he talked, the more he felt that he made sense. "Is Zheng Fa stupid? Want to have more senior sisters above you?"
"What do you mean?"
"Senior Sister Yuan is reluctant to give up this position. Senior Sister Zhang can't be too partial to Zheng Fa. We can only compromise like this. There will be a fight between these two people in the future. Only by fighting can we have a chance."
The short and sturdy junior brother raised his chin, with a look of wisdom on his face, and almost put a fan in front of his chest and shook it.
